I did not read this entire thread,
but...
I sure hope you haven't done any of the suggestions to reformat the drive, quick or other wise.
Don't know what op system you are using, but...the first and only thing I would suggest doing is to run the program (Built into Win 7 and earlier, probably 8 and 10 as well) that repairs the BAM and FAT of the hard drive. (CMD entered into the 'search programs and files' line, in the START window, will take you to the window) in the DOS command line, type: CHKDSK. If you get an error message sating you need to invoke elevate mode, then in the search program bar, type CMD but ***don't** hit enter, right click the file name that pops up in the command box and check run as administrator (i think it is)
99% of the time, that will fix your problem. It will ***NOT*** destroy the data on the drive, in the event of its failure to repair to drive. You would still be able to have data recovery people do their magic, if needed. That will open up an new dos box. Then type CHKDSK /help for a list of commands to use. You will have to make sure you are 'on' the drive assigned by your computer to the attached drive. I believe the command line after you are on that drive is: CHKDSK /F <ENTER> It will go through that drive and repair any bad items it finds.
Please forgive any errors I might have given as I have not done this for several years and I am working from a memory that doesn't always work correctly any longer. ***GRIN***
I have a saying I like to use now: "As I get older, the only thing that keeps getting better, is my forgetter"!

While setting my Nikon 7000 up to take low light images of our tree and decorations this year, I goofed. Nikkor 18-55, VR:on, f/5, ISO 100, Aperture priority, errant button finger.
It turned out 'interesting'. I was about to delete it when my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Charlotte, looked at it and started to giggle and ran away. Seconds later, back she came, with her mother in tow (My daughter!). (We all know how insistent 2 years can be, right?!!)
I was 'instructed' (Again, a 2 year old!!) to show Mama the pretty picture.
************
It didn't get deleted, it got printed and put into a 10 for a dollar, plastic frame [with no glass] for Granddaughter to take home. My daughter just texted me and told me a push pin was dutifully (and carefully) placed and 'The Goof' was hung in her room.
Welp...some day, she will my most brutal critic, so, for now, I will treasure these few happenstances of a genuine compliment!
So here, in all its glory (sic) is 'THE GOOF' I DO apologize...

Her name is Jen and is a very creative person. When I met her for the first time, she was into glass blowing. She and my son came down for his sister's (My daughter, naturally!) wedding. She was quite interested in my cameras I was using Nikon's, so I let her take my backup camera, a D-70S with a 28 to 70 zoom. I explained all about shutter and aperature, etc. but said she should use Auto. At the end of the wedding she showed me what she had shot and I was flabbergasted.
Well, long story short, I gave her my D-70S and a couple of lenses I didn't use anymore. 5 years later, she has a business, and a growing clientele. Oh, and a whole lot of cameras....she just bought a new one a few months back, but don't remember which one...I know it was 4 or 5k for the body. Beyond me! I still use the 7000 and the D200 for back up.
Anywho, as you will see, she is quite creative. The boys are my Grandson's, Revin, on top touching the moon, and Soren on the ladder.
Enjoy!

One of my favorite cars is the Corvette. Is this the Stingray.
<<GRIN>> Nope..this is the Sting Ray!
The 'Stingray' badged cars, started in 69. The 68 was still referred to as a 'Sting Ray' but was, in fact, the new 'Mako Shark 2' body style. BTW, the Mako Shark body style was a concept car design.
A point of interest: Several years ago, there was a 1963, 327" fuelie, like mine, showroom, original, sticker and all, (paper floor mat sheets and all), 2500 original miles, sold for 1.6 million at a Hot August Nights auction.
Only things upgraded were the tires (factory repro's, and the battery. [guts rebuilt so still in original case,]). The seller *did* remove the cosmoline for the auction!

My 63 375h.p. fuelie, cost me, new, in 1963, was $4258 delivered. Only 1 add, leg warmers! (Lake pipes [side pipes])
So, not reading through the thread, I would hazard a guess at $3900, give or take.

Yes I shoot weddings in a candid and fun photojournalistic style, but also include all classic posed shots. I do both. That seems to be what most couples want now, the fun stuff, even something really funny, but also the classic beautiful poses, closeups and detail shots. CLICK ON DOWNLOAD TO SEE THE TRUE COLORS AND RESOLUTION OF THIS SHOT. Cheers
Love the blue tennies on the bride!
My DIL wore red tennies at her wedding!

I would give her the Camera, buy yourself a new camera, and help with learning it! How do we forget learning our Camera features and functions.
I kinda, sorta, did that with my D.I.L.
Only, I created a monster! I gave her my seldom used D70S and a zoom lens that came in a purchase kit, still in its box.
She is now a professional photog, specializing in baby and toddler shoots. How little did I know that Nikon would turn into $20k's worth of equipment and a very successful career in photography.
My son just rolls his eyes and continually says to me, "How could you have, Dad?!!" (How was I to know that she had 'the eye'??) :)
With the quality of cell phone cameras today, I would have suggested forgetting a regular camera, and go with a good cellphone. My daughter's Samsung Galaxy 10 Note is unbelievably sharp. (As noted a few weeks ago in a picture I submitted here, of her shot of a fish at the Dragon Lights Festival, here in Reno.

THANKS! GOOD INFO!
I should add too, I am pretty sure the devices can be set up as stand alone, one programmed with a computer, and most have a USB slot, so you can direct plug you memory card into the device via a card to USB adapter.
If this is something that catches your attention, contact the seller of the NAS drive that interests you and ask how to do what you want.
The NAS device I use is from Buffalo Systems. Western Digital makes a good one, but I didn't like the way it interfaced with my network, do went with the Buffalo NAS box.

BTW, it is not out nor hard to do.
You are going to transfer your pictures to either an external drive or internal drive. The cloud backup devices monitor the drive and automatically backup selected folders or drives. This can be done "on demand" or scheduled to back up while you sleep.
Aint Technology Wonderful?

Coming from someone whose job is corporate and Government networks services:
Anyone using cloud services from anyone, is asking for a big shock, down the road. Never, EVER, trust any storage to anything other than your own devices, EVER!! If you want dependable storage at your location, buy a good NAS device, populate it with WD RED drives and set it up as a RAID1 device. Anything written to it, will be written to both drives in the device, giving you redundancy.

Never had a HD fail on the road (knock on wood) and, especially, never had an SSD fail *ever* ...and I've been using them since inception. Yes, anecdotal. <shrug>
I use them exclusively on all my workstations, as the boot drive, and in all my laptops. I have had them fail, but, the failures have always been brand specific. And always for the same reason: I am an amateur radio operator and when I have my amplifiers on and operating with a fair amount of power, I will 'smoke' them. Western Digital's are the most RF resistant, and have never (Knocking on wood) experienced a failure in the systems running the WD SSD's. Other of the more popular and recommended SSD's have never held up: AData's come to mind, as do Samsung.

I am wanting to store pics on external hard drive in case of computer crash...thanks for your input!
Ok, yes, good way to go.......Just don't use memory sticks, USB drives, etc. for long term storage. HD's the only way to go. Don't go cheap on the hard drive, (I prefer Western Digital products!)
